When you lubricated the clutch fork, did you remove the clutch inspection cover and lubricate the throwout bearing and associated hardware? The last time my cable broke I did this, though I first sprayed it with brake cleaner before I lubed it. It has been really smooth and good feeling since I did this. Do a search for instructions they're out there.
Another issue maybe that your cable wasn't routed properly, OR the cable retaining bracket may be bent. It is my understanding that when the dealer replaces the cable they usually replace the bracket too as an insurance policy. From what I have read cables will fail quite early if they aren't routed properly and if the bracket is out of alignment. I think the bracket is about $15 from any site sponsor. Do a search for it if you like.
BTW do you happen to know if this is the original clutch? If so it may just be at the end of its life. 120k miles is the upper end of the life span for these clutches. According to Anders frequent cable breakage may be an indication of impending clutch doom. I guess as the clutch disc wears down the angle of the clutch for changes necessitating increased pedal effort to actuate the clutch, putting more strain of the cable and thus wearing it out much more quickly. Again read more about here by searching for it.
